Facts About Common Loon
Loons of Seney
In the last five years, the refuge has averaged 20 to 22 territorial pairs of loons and another 10 to 16 unpaired adults vying for territory and mates each year at Seney National Wildlife Refuge.
- The oldest common loon of known age resides at Seney National Wildlife Refuge. We know his age because he was banded as a chick. His 2012 mate was banded as an adult in 1990 making her at least 25 years old. He turned 25 in 2012. He is one of many banded Refuge loons who have been followed and studied for over two decades.
